A Sea Captains Little Bill for stowawayr
ON His Vessel.

A Sea Captains Little Bill for stowaways
ON His Vessel.
Captain Jones, of the johnson steamship
Oranmore, had an experience with stowa-
ways on his last trip from Liverpool to Bal
timore. He left congratulating himself that
he had no deadheads on board to be fed at
his expense, which is made necessary by the
fact that the captains grub their crews.
The first twenty hours had passed when one
stowaway came out to hunt something to
eat. At once search was made for others
through the cargo, but without success.
Next day two others rose from the dark
depths OF the hold, followed by two more on
the third day. The stowaways caused Cap
tain Jones to cast up their probable cost on
q passage of from sixteen to twenty days,
and he had balanced his account and gotten
them down to plenty of hard work and q
meagre allowance when, on the fifth day, he
was faced with another, q robust son of Dub
lin. Captain Jones was nineteen days on the
passage and 1t was natural for him every
morning to ask II any more stowaways had
been found. That those stowaways worked
there is no denial, but all the same Captain
Jones ID out Q grub bill Of SIX men for fifteen
days, in addition to paying fee Of fifty
cents head for their entry Into the United
States. An emigrant agent took charge oi
them, and the last salutatiOn given to the
master Of the Oranmore was Goodbye, Mr.
Jones; much obliged r. which came from
one who gave his age as forty-nine. Vessels
entering English ports with st0wawsys on
board give the master the option of hsvinl
them 1iled or letting them 60 free.

quently in reading the Bible text very
proper to the time and occasion strikes
me. I make very full memoranda, 90

the temptation is to talk upon the hour

While great deal has been said in favor
Of extemporaneous speaking, think that
many who speak extemporaneously fail
to interest because their ideas are 80

COLLEGE HOBBIES.
Gath Ridicules the Idea Of Establishing .
Chair Of Journalism.

Gath Ridicules the Idea Of Establishing o
Chair Of journalism.
Somebody applies to me for an opinion on
college having chair of journalism, writes
George Alfred Townsend to the Cincinnati
Enquirer, as it is said that Pennsylvania
college is about to erect one. My opinion is
that chair in journalism is the most SUPERB
luous thing one can have A pair of boots
is q much better article of furniture for o
journalist. The true chair of journalism Is
to be found outside of the newspaper offices,
journalist, with box of backing and a pair
of well-worn brushes, proceeds to enlighten
the shoes Of the passer-by. This chair Of
journalism you can see in the vicinity OF
every important newspaper Office. The editor
sometimes indulges in the golden dream OF
sitting there as much as four or five minutes.
Colleges make altogether too noble a young
person for the commoner uses of the news
paper.

the average young college cad becomes by

he may not succeed, even with an education.
had one of these diplomas, but for two
years before graduated paid next to NO
attention to the studies, and haven't seen
much reason to regret my rebellion. Fol
instance studied calculus; the only cal
culus have occasion to practice since is q
fear of a stone in the bladder. / do not even
know what the other kind of calculus means.
l recollect, however, that it was differential
and integral. cannot tell what differential
calculus means. The whole thing is integral
to me; that is, forgotten in a lump.
Then studied trigonometry. l still look
at that science with a certain fondness be.
gotten of complete ignorance. When build
ing anything would like to know how to
run out my lines. But perceive that the
carpenter knows no more than I do on that
subject. A good deal that is taught in the
colleges ought to be left for the reading oi
the pupils in their holiday or subsequent
life. There is no necessity for teaching at
school what the mind will pursue for its own
recreation in the course of time.
Unquestionably for the higher uses of life
specific knowledge is important. In the
newspaper this specific knowledge can be OBJ
tained wheneverit becomes necessary for the
newspaper to get into that line of work. My
observation is that American boys do moi
differ in education as much as the colleges
would like to have us believe. You look
over the list of names in Congress or tht
Senate, and you will see that but few of them
had even q college chance. George F. Ed.
haunds, for example, whom take to be the
most accomplished senator.

An old writer on the fashions tells of
the appalling incident Of a muff made Of
leopard skin being offered to young
woman. Her disgust at it, and the little
thought displayed in supposing that a
woman of fashion would be seen with
such monstrosity, is dilated upon and
then the writer closes by what would a
fashionable belle say to furrier who to-
day would offer her muff of leopard
skin? Yet such have been worm In
deed, they have, and, as an evidence of
the change of opinion in regard to the
beautiful, the fact that the most expen-
sive gowns of last season were trimmed
with leopard skin and that muffs and
capes of 1t were deemed smart stares one
in the face.
Fashion and caprice are cited as synony-
nous. This is not true. Sentiment has
much to do with the fashions and the
stage encourages this mingling of the
real and ideal. When the trouble came
to the French princes all loyal Paris
wore black, heliotrope and gray; an effort
was made to make theses shades popular
among Americans. A few adopted them
Mrs. Langtry charmed the eye in her
gray toilets, a green came in favor
that only heliotrope combined with, and,
behold! this season sees the present
adoption of the colors called insipid two
years agol
Americans as a rule want to see things
tried and 1t is only the leaders who are
willing to adopt the entirely new at ball
or reception. The hustle, crinoline, or
whatever may be its name or size at the
time, has always been most popular and
its use most extreme among French and
English women. Why? Because the
Englishwoman, broad-shouldered and
full-busted, is generally narrow about the
hips, and her French sister shares, in a
modified degree, this unshapeliness. The
modiste suggests padding and then real
ICES that it will not do, SO the broad
hustle or the wide hoopskirt gives the
desired size. The American does not
suffer in this way and is by far the most
shapely of the three, so when the hustle
is in vogue the skilled modiste arranges
for her somewhat long improver that,
upholding the drapery, does not take
away from the smallness of the waist,
nor make the hips look like those of a
peasant.
Who invents the fashionable costume
Who brings it to this country, and
where is its fate decided?
Many of the styles are brought out
here and many are French ones modified

Many of the Former Getting Rich, While
the Latter Have No Property.
Skilled mechanics, in spite of widespread
discomfort, are better paid in this city than
many thousands of brain workers. An en-
inent physician says that the average earn
ings in his profession here are less than $500
year. The ill-paid bookkeeper is a proverb.
Intelligent clerks in brokers' and real estate
offices are not better paid. The real estate
clerk who earns $50 a month must under
stand his business almost as thoroughly as
his employer does. A bright young man,
who means to marry some day, learns from
his sweetheart that the kitchen-maid's lover,
who is contented to sit below stairs, earned
$50 month more than the man who was en-
tertained in the parlor When it is remem-
bered that one spends nearly all of his earn
ings in an effort to live up to the require
ments of the parlor, while the other saves

how to appear well; to dine at pretentious
